Lily's POVI quickly stepped outside and met the guard waiting to take me to this supposed fight circle. I was dying of curiosity, what was this fight circle and why did Derek want me to see it?Knowing how much he hated me, I was certain that it was nothing good.The guard said nothing the entire way. He just gestured for me to follow him down a path I hadn’t been taken through before. It was darker here, colder too. I tried not to show how nervous I was, but my hands wouldn’t stop sweating.He led me to what looked like an underground tunnel built from stone and roots. Torches lined the walls, their flames dancing eerily as we walked. At the end of the passage, he opened a large wooden door, and the roar hit me like a thunderclap; cheers, growls, feet stomping.It was literally a fight Circle.It was massive. Dug into the ground like a pit, surrounded by tiers of spectators—mostly males with drinks in their hands and hunger in their eyes. The air reeked of sweat and blood .I scann
Alpha Derek stood with his hands resting above the pool pavement. I stood behind him and silently applied the oils on his back, washing him with a sponge.At first there was silence between us, but then he spoke. “You know Selene, you should consider yourself lucky. Many of the women in that quarter dream to be here in your position, bathing me.”I scoffed, “I guess I should be flattered then, what luck I must have.” I replied in sarcasm.“Yes, what luck you have.” He said coldly.I don’t know if he didn’t understand that I was being sarcastic or he just didn’t care.“Do you know what it means to them to be in the same pool as the Alpha? Seeing him without clothes.”“I see nothing special,” I quickly interrupted. “And if you need an army of enslaved women to feel wanted, then you are a coward.” I blurted.I heard him growl softly. “If you weren’t doing such a good job with your hands, those words would have cost you them.”My heart skipped in fear but I swallowed saliva, keeping my fac
Gina and I walked into the familiar walls of the Alpha's room. She was grinning from ear to ear and that left me feeling confused.I remember the last time he fucked her. She was begging him to stop but he was merciless, what makes her think it wouldn't be the same this time?Maybe she felt the pain was worth the reward. I couldn't even stomach being treated like a doll.We were still standing at one end of the room when the Alpha walked in. He looked at us without saying a word, then he took off his coat and tossed it on a hanger.It smelt like dead animal skin, but clearly it was.“You! Take off your clothes and get on the bed,” he instructed Gina.I felt my heart do a little jump. Gina immediately obeyed, while I remained standing with my head bowed.“You know the drill, Selene. Sit on the chair and keep your eyes on me at all times. Don't make me regret not tying you to it.” He ordered in a stern voice.My jaw dropped. He was going to make me watch again? Why was I not glad? It's
After dinner was prepared, Cora had summoned us all. She picked me, my new roommate who I learnt her name was Gina and two other girls to serve the Alpha's table, then ten other girls to serve the rest of the pack.I couldn't help but notice the excitement on Gina’s and the other two girl's face, made me wonder if it had something to do with serving the Alpha's table We went back into the room to get ready while the rest of the girls dished the meal under Cora’s supervision.“Hey, can I please borrow your comb?” I begged Gina when I saw her using the dull wooden comb.She looked at me with eyes that could kill if they were daggers, then surprisingly she handed it over.I was brushing my hair when a sharp, earthy scent invaded the room. I turned and saw her standing near her bed, lifting her nightgown to rub something along the inside of her thighs. It was thick and slightly greenish, like crushed herbs.“What’s that?” I asked, squinting.She hesitated for a moment, her lips twitching
“What… are you talking about?” I managed to mutter as my eyes began to get dizzy.She finally let go and pushed me to the ground. “Don’t play the fool with me! Do you know why we are here, Lily? It’s because we were all abducted from our packs during raids. Alpha Derek and his pack of rogues only exist because you betrayed him 300 years ago, so you are responsible for everyone’s predicament. You better hope they don’t find out or you won’t make it past a night here!” She spat with spite.I sat there on the floor, rubbing my neck while trying to catch my breath. I barely made sense of her words but I knew I had only stepped into a bigger mess.At this point I didn’t even know what to believe again, the whole werewolf thing still didn’t make sense, but I was willing to do whatever it took to get it over with.Hopefully Derek’s full moon shows up soon and he sees that I am not who he thinks I am, maybe then he would finally let me out of this hell.“Are you not going to defend yourself?
I lay on the bed in frustration. It was a new day and I had lost count of how long I had been here. Derek says I will be here till the full moon but I have no idea when that is.I need to get out of this place. My family would be worried sick about me, my friends… maybe they even thought I was dead.They must have found Joseph's body, wrote it off as an animal attack, maybe even held a funeral for me.Tears rolled down my eyes at the thought of it, being forgotten and moved on from; it must suck. Would I ever get to meet them again?My thoughts were interrupted as the door was suddenly pushed open, I shielded my eyes from the blinding daylight.A woman slowly walked in~ She looked like she was in her early thirties— the first properly dressed woman I had seen in days. She was clearly not one of Derek's whores.Could she be his wife?“Stand up.” She ordered, her voice gentler than any I have heard in days.I swallowed saliva and obeyed.“Good. As long as you listen and obey my instruct
